NickHolt Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Hosting Air Force basic trainees from Lackland Air Force Base's "Operation Homecooking" is a 30-year tradition for the Holt family.

ITS FREE . ...and will for ever change their way of thinking that no one really cares .no one has compassion . no boundaries when it come's to love, life, liberty ,freedom to share to give to one another with out shame .... they have been through the HOUSE OF HOLT the only possible charge is to carry the lessons and spread the word that nothing is impossible their family friends and future families will know this lesson .....GOD DID BLESS THE HOLTS , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted November 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Not looking for any glory in this "Operation Homecooking" deal. We do this for three reasons: 1) We love knowing that our military is in GREAT hands in light of all the negative stuff you see on TV about Millennials. We've had nearly 100 of these outstanding young people at our house over the last 30 years. What a blessing they have been to us as a family. What we receive from doing this is FAR greater than what we give. Several of those who we had the honor of hosting have kept in touch with us over the years and several of them have shared that they have "passed forward" what they received from us to others. What a blessing they have been to us for simply setting two more place settings at the table on Thanksgiving. 2) Our kids would shoot us if we ever decided to stop this family tradition. I'm not ready to die just yet. 3) We hope that by going public with this that others will be led to do something similar in their community.

AyersRacing24 Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Nick I would personally like to say thank you for opening your home for them. 10 years ago I got to go home with a family for thanksgiving while I was in basic training at Lackland and I will never forget it. I don't remember their names but I will always remember the experience. Now I'm back in San Antonio in my current assignment as a trainer to the new troops and I get to see it come full circle every year. Thanks again.
